Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora review — more than Far Cry in space?

No doubt while they've got the licence, this franchise will be another yearly release from Ubisoft

The movies weren't my cup of tea but damn....this game looks good!

Might be worth getting Ubisoft+ for a month for at least.

The game looks pretty and gameplay is alright but this is the worst (Farcry) game so far. Only like 6-7 weapons. Half of them work like poo. The gear system is really bad. Difficulty is extremely unbalanced. Story was very boring. The best part about it is the huge open world and taking down RDA outpost after the story ends.

Har Miggido said:I never saw the first one but the second was fun. Don't really ever need to see it again haha

I'll check this out maybe on U+ or whatever it's called.

ClockWrkPhantom said:Just stating the obvious lol.
There's only been 2 films in 14 years. That original licence was for the 360 game.
Seeing as there's 2 more films releasing in the next couple of years, will definitely be seeing 2 more games.

If they've had the licence that long, been a waste and too busy with Assassin's Creed and Far Cry

PhantomRook said:No you’re being hyperbolic, this isn’t a direct movie tie in, they could’ve made several like this with original storylines , it ultimately up to Disney how many can be made. The next game this studio is doing no surprise Star Wars outlaws

5/5. Cant recommend this enough.

Barely played it, made it outside and gawd damn it's pretty.

Mr Peanutbubber said:Loved the first film but not so much the second. Plus I really like far cry so looking forward to getting round to this game.

PhantomRook said:You just complained about how they are going to make more titles with no evidence that that’s true. Then you complain that they haven’t made enough titles if they had the license this whole time. What are you even going on about

Absolutely amazing game! me and my wife are loving it so much. Can’t recommend it enough.

Ubisoft games are devisive for sure. One thing that’s not is how good PoP The Lost Crown looks.

Happy to hear it's much better than many expected

Remember everyone saying the last one was good which I still need to go back to

SprinkyDink said:You have took everything out of context.
Not complained once.
2 more film sequels in the next 2 years, so definitely 2 more games in the next 2 years, after the positive reception of this game.
Said it was a waste of licence. Not too fussed that they haven't made anymore games.

BulbAssured said:Thanks for a great review. It does seem to me that the central plot is not a major selling feature. I get the impression it takes a back seat to exploration. I do like to explore open world games & can easily extend a 40 hour game into 400. But I also prefer games with a dramatically intense story, memorable characters—including a good bad-guy, and scintillating dialog.
I’m glad you brought it up. My chief criterion in judging a game is its fun factor.
